Thanks Michelle,
I wish I could be more confident about it. But from what research I have done, the ALT reading in itself shows some damage to the liver or heart. Here is just one quote I found ......
SGPT is Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase. It is an enzyme that is released into the blood when there has been damage to something like the liver or heart So I am pretty sure it isn't going to be "nothing". I dont want to wait 4-6 weeks. How much worse will she get? I mean, I feel like if I am not doing something RIGHT NOW... she is getting worse, not better.I just feel so damn helpless
